Albert Wittnauer was a Swiss immigrant who arrived
in New York City in 1872 at the age of 16. He began working for his brother in law, J.
Eugene Robert. Mr. Robert was an importer of fine Swiss watches. With the help of his
younger brother, Albert Wittnauer decided there was a need for a watch designed with all
of the durability and function the American public demanded but with local production to
help keep costs down.

The Wittnauer brand was formally established when Mr. Robert gave the title to Albert
Wittnauer under the name The "A. Wittnauer Company." is born as a small family
business. The company began to cater to the ever growing world of both scientific and
private exploration, which gained them a reputation for use by those who needed
reliability: navigators, explorers, and astronomers.

The A. Wittnauer Co. teamed up with longines in 1936 and then became further involved with
the US Military in the field of aviation and navigation.

Horologist Marvin E. Whitney wrote, "No one
company has been more involved in the design and production of so many different types of
navigational timepieces and been involved in so many history making expeditions..."

TIME LINES:

1917-1918 During the War, servicemen learn to prefer
wristwatches to pocket watches. The Swiss watch industry responds quickly, giving
Swiss-made Wittnauer an edge in the US market.

1926 NBC, Americas first radio
network, chooses Wittnauer for official timing for radio broadcasting.

1927 Wittnauer produces a navigation
watch for aviators. Watchmaker J.P.V. Heinmuller was also official timekeeper of the U.S.
National Aeronautical Association, and developer of Wittnauers navigational
timepieces, dashboard clocks and aviation instruments.

1936 Wittnauer watch company joined
with Longines watches and became the Longines-Wittnauer Co.

1941 Wittnauer receives war-time
contracts to produce compasses, lab timers, aircraft clocks and military watches. The
company hires watchmakers forced to flee Europe. Wittnauer craftsmen working on their own
time make watches with movements from neutral Switzerland.

1949 Wittnauer introduces a
self-winding watch that is slimmer and more durable than previous models.

The Société d Horlogerie à Waldenburg
was founded in 1853 in the Jura town of Waldenburg by Gédéon Thommen & Louis
Tschopp. In 1859 the company was taken over by Gédéon Thommen, who became the sole
owner. The company originally used the brand mark G.T. and its improved
manufacturing and assembly methods were used in the production of quality watches. In 1885
the company patented the G.T. Springeruhr, pocket watch with a mechanical
digital display. By 1870, the company manufactured 4,000 watches per year, which increased
to an output of 13,000 in 1890. From 1875, as well as cylinder watches, the company also
produced lever pocket watches.

In 1889, Société d Horlogerie à Waldenburg
was awarded a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris.

After Gédéon Thommens death, his son Alphonse took over the business and in 1905
registered the company name, Thommens Uhrenfabriken AG . Alphonse continued as
the companys president until 1932. In March 1910, the company registered the
trademark, Revue and due to the increasing demand for wristwatches Thommen
opened an additional factory in Waldenburg as well as others in Gelterkinden and
Langenbruck.

The company supplied watches for the U.K. market under the name "Vertex". The
U.K. agent for Vertex watches was Claude Lyons whose office was at 28 Hatton Garden,
London.

When the demand for watches dropped during the
depression in the 1930s, the company began manufacturing precision instruments for
industrial applications.

In 1936 the company formed the subsidiary Thommen
who specialised in the development and manufacture of aviation navigational instruments.
The company supplied timepieces and instruments to both the British & German armed
forces.

As well as G.T., Revue,
"Vertex" & Thommen, the company has also made timepieces under
the brand names, Vulcain, Cyrus & Sola
